"Cheery Dude" by Abide

#1

Post by Abide »

Well, it's another beautiful fall Monday, and time for another MMM.

Maybe not everyone likes "classic TV shows", but everyone likes the Beatles, am I right? And the meta answer we are looking for here is two Beatles songs. You can submit them in either order on Crosshare or by PM. Some Googling may be required.

Since I don’t have a Discord channel set up for this😉, you can PM me to confirm one of the songs (partial credit). Or to receive a micro-nudge that should make everything clear.

Nudges are found at Posts # 36, 38, and 41.

I've never wanted to get a meta more! Well, you can't always get what you want ... wait.... wrong band.

Funny story. I was all set to enter Par for the course for the CrossHare midi contest for April but I mistakenly thought midi meant 7x 7 and not 11 x 11. Oops. Well.... Here's a complex but **small** meta on the subject of golf.

Hmm. Thought I was off the couch, but Crosshare sat me right back down.

Edit: I had one of them. A second look showed me the correct other one. Now off the couch.
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

Feel like a dope. Got the minimal and allowed myself to be dragged the rest of the way. (There's a method that I *always* miss).

Anyway. Fun puzzle! And ...... !

EDIT: Oh! NOW I get it!

Off the couch. Lots of fun! Thanks, Peter.
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta! :shock:

Got one song with the macro micro nudge. Get the second one several hours later. It was right there!

Had it early by guessing, but Crosshare would not play nice. Finally got it with a push towards the real Mx, not my "hhhm what could it be?"

Nice job Peter, thank you for the puzzle.
